As members of a share house with the Fields\, Gerwig\, Fanning\, and Billy Crudup are the  unique characters who each contribute in crucial ways to Jamie’s upbringing. 20th Century Women is a poignant love letter to the people who raise us – and the times that form us – as this makeshift family forges fragile connections that will mystify\, haunt and inspire them through their lives. \n  \nEOne is releasing the film nationally in the first quarter of 2017.  \n  \n  URL:https://vesglobal.org/event/screening-20th-century-women-melbourne/ LOCATION:BC CATEGORIES:Conference,Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://vesglobal.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/womenposter.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20161215T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20161215T213000 DTSTAMP:20260406T165353 CREATED:20161207T115934Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161207T115934Z UID:10007144-1481826600-1481837400@vesglobal.org SUMMARY:Screening - Rogue One (Adelaide) & Holiday Mixer!
